Bits, Bites, Pieces & Slices about pies, pizzas, and food in general

One of the most popular foods in the world is pizza, and restaurants (like my favourite Lorentto WoodFire Pizza on Bondi Road) that service this great food find financial success. However, when it comes to serving this delicious food, there are two ways that pizza can be cooked, and those two ways are either in regular pizza ovens or a wood fire pizza ovens. People who find out that pizza has different cooking methods may wonder just why people would want to use a pizza oven that relied on burning wood, and here is more information about the pros and cons of using a wood fire pizza oven.

Pro:

Any food that is cooked with wood has a very unique taste, and some restaurants even specialize in the fact they have the majority of their dishes cooked in this way. The food cooked with the heat provided by wood has a smoky taste, and some food, like pizza, really comes out great cooked in this manner.

Con:

There is a safety issue, and there are some states that will not allow for restaurants to use wood fire pizza ovens anymore due to the concern of a wayward spark landing in the wrong place and causing a fire.

Pro:

People are into eating a naturally as possible, and even go so far as to only eat food prepared in a certain way. The ovens that rely on wood chunks for heat use the fire from burning wood to cook the food, and that is just how some people like it because the wood is more natural than using electricity or gas.

Con:

The price of wood can be high, so restaurants that have wood fire pizza ovens have to buy a certain amount of wood in order to serve their customers. Buying wood every week can get quite expensive, which is going to eat into their profits, and they will have to charge more for those special wood fire cooked dishes.

Australians eat millions of pizzas every year, and one of the most popular ways to cook it is with a wood fire pizza oven. These special pizza ovens require large amounts of wood to be burned into order to generate the heat to cook food, and the food that is cooked this way can have a unique smoky taste that people really love. There are pros and cons to this kind of oven, and restaurants should weigh them both before deciding to buy an oven for their kitchen.

Ordering small size portions

Most of the fast food restaurants have up-sized options. You can up-size any meal with larger chips and soda. If you want to eat healthier don’t choose that option. Eating smaller portions of food are the better choice. If it’s possible ask for the smaller servings. You don’t have to take the regular or large serving.

Healthier side dishes

Anything else are definite the better choice. There are definitely better choices than chips. If you like number take a look here: http://www.helpguide.org/life/fast_food_nutrition.htm

Salads with lots of greens

There are lots of different types of salads at a fast food restaurant. The best choice is the salad with lots of green vegetables. And ask them to leave the salad dressing, because there are lots of calories hidden in the salad dressing. Be careful for those salads with deep fried ingredients. The greener the salad the better.

Leave the extras out

A slice of cheese, or an extra strip of bacon are always tempting, but you are just adding calories to your dish. The simpler your dish is, the fewer calories you are going to have. And to leave the extras, the dish will not taste bad. You can have your hamburger without the cheese or bacon. Go for the dishes without the bacon and cheese, if you want to order healthier.

Leave the soda

Every fast food restaurant has sodas and milkshakes. Don’t take them. Ask for water instead. The water has no calories and drinking water before you are eating, helps making your stomach feels fuller. The soda and milkshake’s not just unhealthy, it has lots of sugar in them that can cause diabetics. They might be tempting ad delicious, but not the choice if you want to eat healthier take away.

Grilled not fried

If you have the choice, choose the grilled options. The fried food has tons of calories that the grilled option doesn’t have. You don’t have to be afraid that the grilled food will not be just as delicious as the fried food. There are fast food that are tastier grilled than fried. You will definite eat healthier if you eat the grilled options.
